New Year gift ideas, person by person

Four ideas per person, across budgets.

For parents and the whole family

New Year starts at your parents' place. Give something that keeps that home warm all year.

For kids — under the tree

It all comes down to the letter to Tovlis Babua, Georgia's Grandfather Frost, and how well the grown-ups read it.

For your partner

The thing they've mentioned more than once and never bought for themselves.

For friends and colleagues

Nobody turns up empty-handed on January 1st, least of all the mekvle, the year's first guest through the door.

Why New Year gifts go wrong

The biggest gift night of the year, and the most duplicates.

  • December 31st, 6 pm

    The mall is packed and the shelves hold whatever nobody else wanted. You pick a gift not because it fits, but because it's still there.

  • Five of the same box under the tree

    At the table it turns out your uncle, your aunt and the neighbour all brought the same set. Nobody asked, so as not to spoil the surprise. Or socks. Again.

  • The letter to Tovlis Babua

    "A robot that flies, and also a dog." Five grown-ups read the letter and decode it five different ways. Two identical robots arrive, and no dog.

How Wishler helps here

Everyone keeps a list; the whole family sees what's taken.

  1. Everyone makes a list before the holidays

    In early December everyone writes down what they really want, with a link from any shop or just a name. A child's list is made with a parent: the letter to Tovlis Babua, minus the decoding.

  2. One link in the family chat

    Each list opens in any browser; relatives install nothing. Reserve a gift and everyone else sees it's taken, so nobody buys it twice. The list's owner never finds out who picked it.

  3. One big gift, chipped in together

    One person adds the gift to their own Wishler, switches on "chip in together" and drops the link in the family chat. Everyone sees what's collected and what's left; the money goes straight to the organiser. Wishler holds none of it and takes nothing.

Questions people ask

What to get your parents for New Year?

Something that makes home warmer or daily life easier: a throw, a massager, glasses for the table. For something pricey like a coffee machine, siblings chip in together: one big gift beats five small ones.

What to get kids for New Year, so Tovlis Babua gets it right?

The child's own letter, written down as a list. Make it together on Wishler and send the link to the grandmas and aunts: everyone sees what's already taken.

What to get your partner for New Year?

The thing they keep mentioning: a perfume, good headphones, a watch. If they have a Wishler list, choose from it: you know they want it, and the surprise is which one you pick.

How do you avoid duplicate New Year gifts in a big family?

Everyone needs one place that shows what's taken. On Wishler you reserve a gift, everyone else sees it's taken, and the list's owner never finds out who chose it.

This New Year: no guessing, no identical boxes

Two minutes for your list, one link in the family chat, and the December 31st dash is off.
